2011 horizontal - London Thu 23rd April 2026

Post by Christopher »

I rather fancy trying a few of the 2011 vintage at 15 years and see how they are getting on.

Wondered if there was any interest for such a tasting? More of an academic and chit chat tasting.

The results will be a useful first tasting benchmark after the launch tasting for the 2051 tasting. I hope this could be the first of many..

I'm definitely interested, might struggle with the Thursday (or at best will need to leave earlier than ideal). Would the Tuesday or Wednesday be an option?

I have Noval and Niepoort.

I am afraid for this tasting the date is fixed as all 2011 tastings until 2051 need to be on St George’s Day.
Thus may be at a different venue to normal on Pall Mall. Not 67 will advise.
I am not intending this to be an all encompassing tasting just the ones we fancy.
I will bring a GST and Vesuvio Capela

More details to follow

Yes please. Do I need to calculate the likelihood of survival for this?

I think I can speak on behalf of all the members, Zak, in saying we hope you have more than 79 days left in the tank.*

*maths confirming the same welcomed.

No. I rather hope that, if the tank has been used for anything other than the finest Vintage Port, they let you out of the tank before then.

Which security service has taken such an interest in you?
